It Should Be Illegal!

sometimes you get into bad company, know what I mean? But sometimes it is all in good fun, and that is what going over to Hanna’s blog is like for me- her infectious good humor just sort of …um..instigates things.

Anyway, I was over there and her post innocently suggested “I haven’t seen anyone in the gardening realm putting up poster badges of sexy half (un)dressed gardeners yet, but I think that someone should start working on that right away.” She was talking about blog “flare” or what the myspace ppl call “blog swag”, but a theme can sort of qualify. You know, all the little gizmo-badge do-hickeys. I used to have lots of that, but when I would change templates lots of it just went underground- off the page as I got distracted or tried to cut load time or whatever it is that causes you to deep six something from your blog.

I like the various ideas that Hanna gives for dressing up your blog, those are part of what makes it so fun and addictive. So if you want some Bling-Bling you know where to find it.
